F0oD ADULTERATIoN.
A Report OH Butter and OleoMar.
garine.-Opinions Regarding the
E.aGler Prodsrcf

Latter Product.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The popular
notions with respect to the extent of the
practice of butter adulteration before the
oleOrargarine law went into effect will not
be sustained by the forthcoming report of
Prof. Wiley, of the department of agricul-
ture on this subject. Prof Wiley's eX-
perinents have been progressing for more
than year. The materials for the investi-
cation were purchased in open market in
all parts OF the country, no intimation
being given in any case OF the purpose for
which the purchase was intended. In no
instance was it found that an article sold in
the market as butter was entirely fraud
ulent, and not more than one in three were
adulterated. The adulteration usually
contained 30 to 40 per cent. of pure butter,
the remainder more commonly consisting of
beef fat, lard and cotton seed OIL Prof.
Wiley devotes some space to the considera-
ton OF the opinions of scientific men with
regard to the -wholesomeneSs of oleO-
margarine and kindred compounds. He
finds that about nine out of every ten OF
the scientists who have expressed them
selves declare belief that properly
made OleOmargarine is unObjectiOnable
and wholesome. The larger and more
important part of the report is devoted to
the analysis of dairy products and their
substitutes and to the methods of detecting
authorizations. The chemists opportunities
for investigation were greater than have
ever been before afforded and the result is
treatise which covers every detail of this
important subject. The conclusion is
reached that the microscope is much more
Useful instrument in this direction than
European chemists have ever been willing
to admit, and is in fact an invaluable
adjunct to the chemical laboratory for this
particular work. Chemical methods of
analysis are, however, no less thoroughly
treated; and few simple means of detec-
ton for popular use are pointed out. Arti-
fetal cOloring substances are discussed and
those which are harmful and those which
are harmless are described. This report is

Over $500 Railway Passengers

ST. JOHN, n. B., April IA dispatch
from Moncton contains news of stalled
trains on the northern division of the Inter-

from Ste. Flavien to Cambellton,

passengers, including 700 immigrants, are
halted.on the route. The railway authori-

Scotia are at st. Flavien, and seven mail
clerks are guarding them. Fully half
the conductors, baggagemasters and ex-
press managers on the line are hemmed in
at this point. A dispatch from New
Castle, five hours ride from None
ton, says the Quebec night train, the first
that has passed the New Brunswick board
ers since Friday last, has worked its way
through. 1t has seven cars all loaded with
passengers who have been delayed by the
storm OF the week and are exhausted and
worn by the long sojourn amid the snow
drifts and frost. They are freed at last
only by the superhuman efforts of
1,5OO men, who worked night and
day. Twenty shovelers are so eX-
hausted that B. S. Archibald, chief
engineer has started with a special train
and all the men he could collect for the
scene. He arrived at Cambellton and
pushed his way through to ST. Flavien last
night about o'clock, and broke the block

amount of snow there is on the New

Dies MONIES, Ia, April Judge Love,
of the federal court, arrived in the CITY this
morning. The cases Of Paul Molles and
Aulnan & Schuster, brewers. who were
fined by Justices CASTOR and Miller for il
legal sales of intoxicating liquors, were
brought before him, writs Of habeas corpus
being applied for by the attorneys. The
writs were granted and the defendants, ap-
pealing to the circuit court of the United
States. were held in bonds of So 900 each to
appear at Dubuque at the April term, where
the arguments will be heard by the entire
bench, and Judges Love, Shires and Brewer
will decide the matter. The reason given
for this is that the judges have discontinued
the giving OF wrts separately, unless appeal
is taken. until the entire bench can be fully
advised in the premises, the judges not de-
string to accept any individual responsible
ity. At Dubuque the decisions of the sep
arate judges will be affirmed or the writs
granted. The brewers gave bond and were

Late last evening two ragged and emaciated
men staggered into the post and
related a horrible story of suffer
ing. On the 18th of March
James Waldron, Stephen Owens and John
McCuig left Lethbridge, n. w. T., mounted
on horses for this place. They were
obliged to abandon their horses the third
day, having nothing for them to eat, and
from that time waded through the
snow on foot. Their supply OF food be-
came exhausted two days later, and, losing
their way. their only food for fifteen days
consisted of few berries gathered off
bushes. About twenty-five miles from
this place Owen fell exhausted, and the
others, too weak to assist him. left him to
his fate. Upon hearing the case the
post commander Immediately sent out
an ambulance and relief party who We're
fortunate enough to find Owens still alive
and returned with him to-day. All three
are now in the hospital. Waldron
and McCuig may recover with
the loss of both their feet. but Owens can
not. They are all snoW-blind and have
been for three days. They claim to be de-
serters from the Northwest mounted police

THE CURSE OF ROME.
Archbishop Ccrrigan Threatens To
Launch 1t at Dr.. ELcGiynn,s Par.
ishiOnerS.

New YORK, April 1.-Rev. James Cur
ran, the staunch friend and former assist
ant of the deposed priest, DR.. McGlynn,
appeared with the latter in Jones' wood on
st. Patrick's day. For this he was sent to
Ellenville to reflect on his contumacy in
appearing in public with a priest in dis,
grace. DR.. Curran did not profit by the
hint, however, and came down or the night
of Dr.. McGlynn'S lecture and appeared on
the platform with him. For this DR.. Cur
ran has been ordered into solitary retreat at
HobOken. with fasts and penance for ten
days. AT the palace of Archbishop Corri-
gan it was intimated that the parishioners
OF st. Stephens would do well to take the
hint and behave themselves, lest they suffer
accommodation. The punishment of Dr..
Curran is taken as evidence that Archbishop
Corrigan's course toward Dr. McGlynn has
the approval of Rome. The parishionerS
of st. Stephens are excited over the affair
and propose to hold meetings in DR.. Cur.
rams support.
